On a model level, sales of electrified vehicles reached a record high of approximately 260,000 units (110 percent year-on-year) thanks to the strong sales of ES, RX, and UX hybrid models. In addition, with the release of the new NX as the first model of the next-generation Lexus, and the newly introduced PHEV, Lexus accelerated the practical spread of electrification to meet the needs of customers and society.

“In 2022, we will continue to refine Lexus’ unique design and driving taste that appeals to the sensibilities of our customers, based on our thoughts to “be the brand that people who know the real thing choose at the end of the day,” Sato added.

Lexus aims to achieve offering a full lineup of BEVs in all segments by 2030, 100% BEV sales in Europe, North America, and China, and 1 million units sold globally as a new challenge of realizing a carbon-neutral society. Furthermore, we also aim to achieve 100% BEVs globally by 2035. Lexus will continue to create vehicles that meet the diverse needs and lifestyles of our customers.

“We will also accelerate the development of electric vehicles starting with the BEV exclusive model “RZ” in spring, we will release a series of new models that will accompany the lifestyles of a variety of customers. Please look forward to the future of Lexus,” Sato concluded.
